Debt Capital Advisory: Dominic Renshaw, Alex Retamal and Emily Stansfield.

“We have tracked CMap for a long time and have been hugely impressed by the team, product and market opportunity that the business faces into. The company is well-placed to continue its rapid growth trajectory in the AEC and consulting sectors, both in the UK and globally. PwC provided invaluable insights as lead advisor leveraging their sector expertise in software to guide us through the transaction and providing end-to-end support across M&A advisory, debt capital markets and deal insights and analytics.”
